{{warning|'''The software is not suitable for end-users yet.''' It is of alpha-quality, and much functionality which expected to be present in a phone is not ready for an end-user yet. That means that even the most critical phone uses like making/receiving calls and SMS, using contacts and a calendar, are not there yet or are not finished yet. If you order a Neo1973, DO NOT expect to be able to use it as an everyday phone until December 2007 at the soonest, and probably later.}}

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of possibly many phones that OpenMoko may be used on. Buy it at [https://direct.openmoko.com/ Openmoko Online Shop]. You may wish to see the [[SH1 FAQ|Shipment 1 FAQ]] and [[Phase 1 Software Testing]]

* The Openmoko snapshot from [[Phase_1_Software_Testing#Official_20071113_rootfs_with_20071113_.28r3238.29_kernel|20071113]], when employing a few steps, can be used to make and receive calls, but this has seen very little testing! Please also note that there is NO graphical frontend for sending/receiving of SMS included. With additional software, it is possible to send SMS.

Please also note that there is NO graphical frontend for sending/receiving of SMS included. After installing additional software however, it should be possible to send SMS.

* With some work, and only for 3-5 hours due to issues with suspend, it is now also also possible to use the Qtopia to make and receive calls, use contacts, and other basic tasks. See [[Qtopia on Neo 1973]] , http://www.qtopia.net/modules/mydownloads/ and the [http://www.qtopia.net/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=473&forum=4 Qtopia forum] for more details.

* With some tweaks, it is now also also possible to use the Qtopia to make and receive calls, use contacts, and other basic tasks. But Qtopia has some issues with suspend, so it may last only 3-5 hours without external power or replacing the battery. See [[Qtopia on Neo 1973]] for details.
